Abstract
Cellular communicationnetworks satisfy the very conditions required to be complex adaptivesystems,so it is expected thatinteresting phenomenaproper to themcan be observed in their behaviors.In this paper,assuming three kinds of cellular networkssuch as CDMA, FCA-TDMA and DCA-TDMA networks,we examine their traffic intensity dynamicsby computer simulation.We show thatDCA-TDMA network has a hidden cause to producea long-range time dependence in its traffic intensity dynamics,so self-similarity appears there,regardless of property of traffic source andservice generation rate.Furthermore,we reveal that the cause is a strong interdependency amongcells through inter-cell interference.
